Washing Up
I never cared for Mosquitoes and don't like Liver much either. Thart is until I was with a friend checkiun CatFish Traps. I noticed that the Mosquitoes did not seem to bother him and could not figure out why until I was given the Liver he was putting in the Catfish traps,
It seems when I carried the Liver the mosquities did not bother me. I got an idea and next time I went to a primative Rondezvous along the Mississipi River I took a quarter pound beef liver, and a quarter pound chicken liver in 2 Zip Lock Bags.
As I talked to a guy there I suggested sitting down on a log. He pointed out the log had a cloud of mosquitoes arroiund it.
I told him I wanted to see if the Liver would get rid of the Mosquitos and told him about what happened setting Cat Fish traps.
He agreed so with a bag of liver in my trail bag, as the other was in my tent we walked toward the log. As we approched the log the Mosquitoes started moving away from us until we reached the log and they were gone. It seems they hated Liver as much if not more then I did. And the Liver was sealed in a Ziplock Bag in my trail pack. Yet the Mosquitoes moved away and stayed away as we sat on the log and talked.
Later we went to eat some of the whole side of Beef that had been cooking and basting .. over a large outdoor fire. But as we waited and ate it the Mosquitoes appeared and stayed around us for about an hour after we ate.
It seems the odor of the side of beef was stronger then that of the Liver and the Mosquitoes did not mind the Liver anymore after we got near the beef and started eating and ate it despite the Mosquitoes around us..
About an hour later they suddenly disappeared again. I think that the odor of the cooked Beef we had eaten was no longer stromger then that of the Liver and so they left.
I decided to stay away from fried and cooked meat in Mosquito country wever since and instead carry 1/4 lb. of Liver sealed tightly in a Zip Log bag.
Oh yes the other sealed Zip Lock bag of Liver. It was in the Portage Pack in my open Canvas Diamond Shelter Lean To. There were no Mosquitoes arround when I got to it, and I wasn't bitten by any of them, but slept better then lots of the others camped there near the river.
I could not tell which worked better the 1/4 lb. Chicken Liver or the 1/4 lb. Beef Liver. Maybe someone can check it out.
Oh yes before I got in the car to come back I put the Liver on the ground for the Dogs and Varmints who quickly found and happily ate it.
I used to hate Liver until I found out that the Mosquitoes hate it so much they don't like being near it.. I now take 1/4 lb. of Liver in sealed Zip Lock bags with me to keep the Mosquitoes away. It works even if in my Trail Bag and drives the Mosquitoes away. I don't have to eat the Liver. Just cary the Liver in a sealed Zip Lock bag and stay away from fried and cooked meats.
